Did you have more to add there? Anyway, my first thought is to use rsync, the |
| 16 |
same tool that syncs your local and the main portage tree. The problem is the |
| 17 |
bidirectionality of it. If there is a certain time of day that the teachers |
| 18 |
are doing their thing, then you could sync your copy after (or before) the |
| 19 |
time of day you know they will be working. If you need real-time updates this |
| 20 |
may not work. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
A better solution may be to either mount your copy or the master server's copy |
| 23 |
with NFS. That way, you will all be operating on the same files...but they |
| 24 |
will appear local to all concerned. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If you are doing some testing/development on your copies that you don't want |
| 27 |
on the live server then this may not be suitable... |
